Poem-A-Day Challenge: Love's Astronaut

I orbit your universe
exploring the possibility of landing

testing the
atmosphere

I go where I am invited

I rotate in accordance to the
heart's desire...

Often the alien, I know full well
Love is
the final frontier

I am the gravitational pull of unexpected magic

Create a safe place for me to
land
and
I
might
just.

#6 Poem-A-Day: Love Me In The Now

There are stories

that go ON
                         Forever

There are stories that
last
                          A few moments

I do not have an eternity with you
                       
                           I do have love that lasts
                           for as long as I have breath

And really having breath is an eternity

Do not concern yourself with my mortality

                           You waste time with trying to know the hour

When I go it will be like a cool breeze blowing across your brow

                             Love me in the now.

Tomorrow is a long held dream.

Poem-A-Day Challenge: Love Truly

There is no unrequited love

I love you.
You love me.

understood. reciprocated.

There is no togetherness
or not togetherness.

I wish you well with whomever you choose.

There is no unrequited anything between us

There is only love

truly.

I

actually,
grudgingly, 

despite 
my 
best 
efforts...

seeing

magic.

Curses!

Poem-A-Day Challenge: The Kindest Heart Of The Day

On some days you are the light

the safety net

the path

the pillow

the very clear voice for my very busy mind

On all days you are the friend

the confidant

the cheerleader

the willing listening ear

And on those odd days of destruction and despair

you are the kindest heart of the day

Poem-A-Day Challenge and My Birthday Is Two Months Away!

Poem 3/2/16

You summoned me

From across the universe

I came

bearing gifts of magic and spells falling from my lips

Gifts of truth laughter friendship

all wrapped in love

It is exactly 2 months until my birthday! Ha ha ha! I am already getting exciting!
I have no idea what I'll do this year. I am thinking peace and quiet... contemplative time alone somewhere, maybe a night in a fancy hotel, or a couple of days at a charming inn. I am open.
we shall see.

Happy March!

So I decided to join in on some challenges for the month of March. Why? Because they can be fun! And quite empowering.

Wear and post a shade of lipstick everyday for the month of March!
My Sister-friend Gail Samuels blogger at www.onewomanstyle.com created this fun challenge!

3/1/16 Poem

The joy is not in

hanging around you

although I am sure that is a delight

The Joy lies in knowing you

like the moon is to the sun

The sun to the earth

The stars to our wishes
